Phd Scholarship As Part of An Arc Decra Project

Caulfield, Victoria, Australia Monash University Full time

The Opportunity


This PhD scholarship is funded as an important part of an ARC funded project "Exploring the digital divide in the ageing migrant's personal home", conducted by Dr Earvin Charles Cabalquinto.


The project will critically investigate the experiences of ageing migrants in accessing and using digital communication technologies and online platforms in their personal home settings, deploying multi-sited ethnography and visual methods.

It will also examine the role of ageing migrants' relationship to their local and transnational networks in shaping the opportunities and difficulties they experience and negotiate in digital environments.

The study will approach the topic through an interdisciplinary lens drawn upon the intersecting fields of digital media, migration, mobilities, and ageing research.


The successful applicant will join the research team and contribute to the wider project but will also undertake their own distinct PhD project.

The student will engage with one of Australia's largest migrant communities, such Chinese, Indians and Indonesians, and their local and transnational networks.

Under the Chief Investigator's direct supervision, the student will be guided to collect and analyse data, with a particular focus on how social, cultural, political, economic, and technological factors impact the experiences of the digital divide among ageing migrants in a home setting.

The Chief Investigator and the PhD student will share data collected from engaging with their respective case studies, contributing to mapping similar and emerging drivers of digital exclusion in an increasingly networked and transnational world.

The details of the PhD project are open to negotiation, but primarily designed to collect data among 10-15 migrants and their selected family members in Melbourne, Australia and in their home country.

Monash University is the largest university in Australia and regularly ranks in the top 100 universities worldwide. Monash has six globally networked campuses and international alliances in Europe and Asia. The applicant will be based at the Caulfield campus in Melbourne. Social Science at Monash is diverse and vibrant, including research expertise in geography, sociology, politics and sustainability transitions.

We have a strong and supportive research culture, led by internationally recognised scholars successful in attracting national and international competitive funding.

The successful applicant will have an excellent academic track record in Social Science. Competence in qualitative research methods, particularly multi-sited ethnography and visual methods (photo elicitation, photo documentation, and videography), is desirable.


In its assessment, the selection committee will prioritise applicants who hold an Australian (or equivalent international) Honour's or Master's degree (both in a relevant field), with a significant research component and with first-class honours/H1 awarded.

Applicants should ensure they familiarise themselves with these requirements before deciding whether they should apply.

This scholarship is open to domestic and international applicants. Scholarship holders must be enrolled full-time and on campus.

Please note:
Applicants who already hold a PhD will not be considered.

The successful applicant will be expected to enrol
by October 2023. However, there may be some flexibility as to the date of commencement.
